Hello Everyone,
It is Zsofi here, welcome to another edition of my Perfect Combos series. Fall is one of my favourite seasons and I was eagerly waiting to mix and match the new stamps and dies from the latest release. So here you go, a slimline forest scene for any occasions. Let me guide you through the process.
First I stamped and coloured the images from
Deer to me,
Nuts about you,
Hootiful and the mini set Mole Lotta Love (it was an incentive set during pre-orders). I used my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers: TN9, TN8, TN7, TN2, TN1, BG9, BG7, BG5, BG2, BG1, FS8, FS7, EB5, EB3, EB1, BO4, BO3, BO1, GY2, GB9, GB7, GB4, RB2, RB1, MB1. I cut everything out with the
coordinating dies.
While I was at die cutting I also cut the elements for my slimline scene using
Heffy Doodle coloured cardstocks. I needed a postage edge rectangle from white cardstock (
Slimline Mini Mail), a blue (Ice Blast), green (Kiwi Crush) and light yellow (Butterscotch) stitched slimline rectangle (
Stitched Slimline Trio) and a tree trunk from grey (Oyster Shell) cardstock with the new
Tree-mendous Peek-a-boo tree die. Then I used the canopy die from the same set to cut the canopy from the yellow rectangle, and the
Grassy Lass Border dies to cut the grass. I also made a whole on this panel with a
Stitched Oval die as a cave for my moles. I used a cloud border die for the bush from the
Silver Lining Cloud Border die set. I added texture to the tree trunk with the new
Woodgrain Texture background die.
I used some Distress Oxide inks for shading the die cuts, and added some splatters to each too. I assembled the scene as on the picture, I used 3D foam squares behind the grassy panel to give the whole scene some depth. The sentiment I white heat embossed on black cardstock and fussy cut it with scissors.
As a finishing touch I used glossy accents on the mushrooms and beaks and emphasized the eyes with a black glaze pen. The cardbase is made of light grey cardstock and measures 3,5*8,5 inches.
I hope you enjoyed this all occasion slimline scene and will pop in again soon for more.
See you,
Zsofi
